This page outlines the required steps to upgrade a 1.1 release OpenVPMS installation to release 1.2-Beta-1.
| Step |
Description |
| Download OpenVPMS Installation Files |
- Download the latest OpenVPMS Installation files from here
 .
- Unzip the Installation Pack onto your OpenVPMS server; This should create a openvpms-release-1.2-Beta-1 folder with the necessary files to install or update OpenVPMS.

| Stop Tomcat Service |
|
| OpenVPMS Database Upgrade |
- Open a command prompt.
- Navigate to openvpms-release-1.2-Beta-1\update\db folder
- Start the mysql command line client and enter the following commands
mysql -u root -p
mysql> use openvpms;
mysql> source migrate-1.1-to-1.2.sql ;
mysql> quit;
|
| Download and install the Mysql JDBC driver |
This release does not package the Mysql database JDBC driver that is required by OpenVPMS to talk to a Mysql database installation. This is due to license restrictions on the Mysql connector.
Using your current OpenVPMS-1.1 installation you can copy the necessary files from this installation to the new 1.2 installation and Tomcat using these instructions:
- In the openvpms-release-1.1\lib folder find the file mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar to openvpms-release=1.2-Beta-1\lib folder.
- Copy the same file to your tomcat installations shared\lib folder.
